An Abstract Mind

Raven’s Wish Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of mixed media wall art by Janesville artist Lori Salamone-Limbachs. Her unorthodox techniques with glass and metal, along with limitless creativity, result in a non-traditional, diverse body of work.

With the exception of lessons in stained glass, Salamone-Limbachs is a self-taught artist. A Janesville native, she is inspired by nature, personal dreams, and her fellow artists. Her work has evolved through experimentation and discovery, developing an increasingly complex style.

An artist reception for Salamone-Limbachs will be held from 6 pm to 8 pm on Friday, August 7th at Raven’s Wish Gallery.  The exhibition will hang through August 27th.

Raven’s Wish Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of mixed media acrylic paintings by Matthew Ledger of Janesville. 

Ledger’s current works are abstracts which resemble “space-scapes,” nebulous clouds clinging together drawn in by dark matter. The pieces are not begun with this intention, only thought of as color, form, and emotion.

When he is painting, Ledger often slips into a state of “flow.” Similar to a runner’s endorphin high, Ledger finds this feeling beneficial for his mental health and for finding release from stress. Flow is described as completely focused motivation, a single-minded immersion in a task. For Matthew, the hallmark of flow is a feeling of spontaneous joy that is infused into his paintings. 

Ledger was born into a family rich in artistic abilities. His mother Arlene Ledger, a well-known local painter, was the greatest influence on his work. Gerhard Richter, a New European Movement painter known for his exploration of the play between realism and abstraction is another strong influence on Ledger’s work.

An artist reception for Ledger will be held from 6 pm to 8 pm on Friday, June 26th.  The exhibition will hang through July 30th and the gallery is open from 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday, 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday, and during the summer from 11 pm to 3 pm on Sunday.
